Denver, Colo., Sep 3, 2018 / 07:00 am (CNA).- On its face, the arc of Archbishop Viganò’s story is straightforward.

In a testimony released Aug. 25, Archbishop Carlo Viganò wrote that in 2006, he sent a memo to his Vatican superiors, which said that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had a history of sexual misconduct with seminarians and priests and that an example should be made of him for the good of the Church.
